Research Facilities are some of the most challenging environments in which any pest control company has the opportunity to work. There is no set protocol or product application plan in these situations. Each facility has different parameters that have to be taken into account before a treatment plan can be put into place. Regulations, clean rooms, the specific type of research being done; all these factors govern the available options that will achieve the desired pest-free environment.
When the world-renowned Biosphere II was looking for solutions to its pest issues, University Termite and Pest Control was the company they contacted. The professionals at University faced two very different sets of challenges. The first challenge was the research being performed. Would typical pest control measures align within the specific parameters the scientists at Biosphere were applying? The second challenge presented was the perpetual flow of guests touring the property and the need to protect them from insects living in the Biosphere itself.
University spent hours investigating the nature of the experimentation going on, and what environmentally friendly treatment options were available that would not interfere with the integrity of the project. In some cases, a seemingly foolproof solution would gain traction, only to be dismissed later due to a conflict with organisms in another part of the facility.
Other challenges we faced were the remote location of the property, and long travel times if a guest were stung by any of the desert territory inhabitants. The experts at University devised the placement of many innovative trapping protocols and sanitation procedures that kept guests focused on the facility, and not on the scorpions, wasps, or bees they encountered.
